Previous: >>58022435

Direct has aired yesterday and the reception for ZA's new mega designs for Dragonite has been Lukewarm at best. Alongside showcasing new characters in the game:
>Rate Mega Dragonite's design
>Do you think the Team MZ will make an appearance to work together with the Likosquad against the Rakurium and/or the Rogue Mega threat?

>>58032880
>Dragalge is more over due for one. It's ok but the low speed is hurting it.
I doubt it will be largely improved beyond maybe making it a bit more tanky. But it might get compensated with newer moves or ones that have a low cooldown.

>>58033178 (OP)
Brat.

>>58033180
>Rate Mega Dragonite's design
3/10, I expected better from a mega design for a Kanto Pokemon.

Yes to the other one, can be easily merged.

>>58033180
>4/10
>Liko or Roy will probably get in contact with them for tidbits

>>58033197
He might bite the Megapill for Chandelure, the base design has that classy look that goes with the other Pokemon he has or at his home.

>>58033181
Lower cooldown moves for slower Pokemon seems kinda contradictory.

>>58033197
He's so dreamy.

How could anyone eat this?

>>58033228
Looks fine to me.

>>58033222
Anne...

>>58033180
Genuinely disappointed with the design. What the fuck went through their minds?

>>58033181
Maybe. But I don't see it having them without the faster moves being on the weaker side.

>>58033178 (OP)
Sango ist echt koralle.

Mega Rhyperior when?

>>58033255
What would it be like? Two more rock tails growing out at the bottom?

>>58033190
It's amazing how even Nostalgialards can't enjoy it. Nothing but Ls were seen in the presents livechat too. They fumbled big time and they had an extra year for it too.

>>58033178 (OP)
>Sango

Continuing with the Froslass deal from last thread, it would be quite interesting to see a Pokemon that can match Meowscarada in her attitude. Typing aside, it's a good chance to underline how obsessed she can become once someone else with a similar mindset comes in.

>>58033187
Liko better pokes around for information about his mother.

>>58033283
If Liko gets Froslass then it will be a local waifumon war.

>>58033265
Four arms instead of two.

>>58033298
That sounds kinda stupid.

>>58033332
Well anything goes after yesterday's direct.

MaidKo

>>58033230
Thats too much green.

Believe in DotLiko.

>>58033180
>Meh
>Liko and that brown-haired Chicken one might be fun

Has Rhydon died yet?

>>58033689
Soon.

>>58033689
No.

>>58033689
Not yet.

>>58033181
>But it might get compensated with newer moves or ones that have a low cooldown.
Doubt it. Pokemon has the trend of keeping certain elements the same way. Slowmons get the slow moves.

>>58033267
>They fumbled big time and they had an extra year for it too.
This right here is the biggest wtf moment for me. What did they do with that extra year?

>>58033180
6/10, it was OK design.

>>58033283
Gonna wait until Mega Froslass gets revealed. Extremely hesitant after seeing Dragonite's.

>>58033513
Green foods are tasty anon. Sounds like you have a shitty diet.

>>58033885
Atleast there is no handholding in this one.

>>58033583
I don't believe in vaginal disease

>>58033295
It's between Pokemon, the merch scene is only winning from it.

>>58033980
Where did that fucking image come from. I didn't even select a file.

>>58033283
>Typing aside, it's a good chance to underline how obsessed she can become once someone else with a similar mindset comes in.
The equivalent of holding up a mirror into Meowscarada's face isn't exactly much but then again, it's the weedcat.

>>58033228
>How could anyone eat this?
With Chopsticks.

>>58033513
And the rice looks too nice.

Need more Manko please.

>>58033238
Anne will never score.

>>58034030
Wondering about when they will release another Likonime Manga.

>>58033180
Q1.I'm okay with it. Would prefer it to be blue to tie more into dragonair but whatever.
Q2.It's the perfect setup for them to go visit another region and also possibly explore Roy's Lucario. So i hope so.

https://x.com/skmr0v0/status/1948018277659312554/photo/1

>>58033255
One day.

Who will Amethio end up with?

>>58034411

>>58034411
Me

>>58033862
Seconding the take. ZA wrecked my hopes of good mega designs, gonna hope now that they're gonna be bearable at best

>>58033180
>Rate Mega Dragonite's design
Mediocre

>>58033180
I think Mega Dragonite's design is good. I think bringing back the Dragonair elements was a cool idea. I hope either Liko or Dot get a Dragonite.

>>58034030
You know what manko means right

Was "Character development hairstyle" worth losing this?

>>58033180
>>Rate Mega Dragonite's design
I just wanted Mega Dragonite to get large wings and tails like Charizard. But it would have been cool if Mega Dragonite was 9 feet tall with longer arm and legs.
>>Do you think the Team MZ will make an appearance to work together with the Likosquad against the Rakurium and/or the Rogue Mega threat?
After the way Nemona was disrespected on Horizons, it would be better if Team MZ stay out of Horizons even though game characters were the only hook this series had left.

>>58034411
Stars with L ends with O

If MC gets all the cool and strong pokemon than there would not be any challenge since he owns the ace of his rivals. This is why Ash probably had limited number of pokemon for him to face challenges.

For example : Dragonite used to be rare and mythical since so few characters used to own one. But now so many trainers has a Dragonite that it feels like a regular pokemon that anybody can get at any time.

>>58034030
It should fill in on some mundane stuff that isn't needed to be centralised for episodes. Like Liko's year inbetween.

>>58034869
....Ludicolo?!

Will Amethio dress in white now that he went from dark knight to sad good boy?

>>58035403
Not until the end of the arc. It WILL be kino.

>>58035403
Every timeskip design so far has the same colors as their previous one, so he's most likely still going to wear purple and black.

>watch a fansubbed Pikachu short
>had to stop after 2 minutes because the Pokémon were referred to as they/them rather than it

>>58033216
They gotta compensate for their names somehow

>>58033862
>Extremely hesitant after seeing Dragonite's.
Same here. Couldn't be more turned off atm.

>>58033180
>Do you think the Team MZ will make an appearance to work together with the Likosquad against the Rakurium and/or the Rogue Mega threat?
I would be all for it.

>>58033255
Liko stole it

>>58033180
Dragonite's mega design is hideous and feels like a reject tera Typ concept

>>58033761
Sounds stupid. They can at least mix things up a bit

>>58033761
Wow, it's fucking weed!

>>58033761
Meowscarada's interpretation of the Pokémon presents, colorized.

They should and the series with Dot moving in with Iono.

>>58036629
End*

>>58033187
He really went off in height.

>>58034022
Why are you doing this to me?

>>58032354
>Was gonna object because of the implications but they already walked back on them in the Gacha so really it would be fine.
Why are they doing this?

Need the two pls.

>>58034399
And when is that day gonna come?

>>58033684
Clumsy Dot!

>>58035403
Maybe if Liko asks nicely with a pretty please.

>>58036791
>Gets flustered by girls explicitly
>This exists
For fucks sake.

When is Uruto gonna take a dump into the pages of the Scarlet book?

>>58036797
Why would he do that? He's not a savage.

>>58036813
He sleeps on a couch, hates flying and driving, eats like a pig, argues with other creatures, has no manners. He's from the wildness

>>58036185
The wings on top of its head are kinda damning for it.

>>58033862
How did they manage to mess up this badly?

>>58034030
What happened to her?

>>58036954
They didn't bother trying

>>58034024
MAIDKO!

>>58036795
These things can happen.

>>58036681
Those two better sort themselves out.

>>58037196
What is that look conveying?

>>58037256
A desire aimed at Roy.

Can the week go by faster? Want Amethio now.

>>58035666
He might smile a bit more.

So what will Liko and Dot's megas be now that we know the roster? I could see Liko getting Dragonite and Dot getting Skymory just so they have a flier like Roy does

>>58036644
That was funny.

LiYuno?

>>58037304
Make it mega Altaria or Salamence for Liko please. Skymory is fine on my end.

>>58037304
Dragalge can open up a punchline with Roy's parents.

Sango better shapes up soon.

>>58037304
I want to avoid redundancy so maybe another Dragonmon for Liko. Froslass can cover Liko on the Mega front.

>>58037380
Drampa would be one option but it's literally built for Ludlow

https://x.com/murazina/status/1948048655979819202

What could be

>>58037318
Or actually, make it Scolipede for Liko. Something to contrast her team.

https://x.com/RINYANYAN3/status/1948222076403527797

>>58037441
Scolipede seems more like a Dot pick. Was gonna originally rooting for Emboar to be in Liko's party as the main firemon but with the little squire filling up that role on top of starting a JRPG theme, I would assume that a tank Pokemon might fit into Liko's team since most of her party is more on the lighter side.

>>58037441
>>58037447
They could just use any Unova Pokemon and it will fit Liko like a glove.

https://x.com/eeveekoringo/status/1948230001318670593/photo/1

>>58036920
Now that I think about it, why did they went for crowns anyway to signalize the typing? Wouldn't flashing in the correlating symbol in once be enough? Plus it's better from a rendering perspective.

>>58037447
>I would assume that a tank Pokemon might fit into Liko's team since most of her party is more on the lighter side.
That's about 3/4 of the steel types atleast.

>>58037452
Agreed.

>>58037468
They are more explicitly tanky against physical assaults than being more all-rounded.

A good anipoke series would have shown how strong Nemona is as the strongest champion on Paldea by having her take out Friede or Black Rayquaza. But Horizons choose to humiliates her & turned the entire Paldea League into a joke to shill an uninteresting OC that nobody care abuts. Worst part is Horizonfags attempt to sugarcoat this when they had a huge drama over Diantha lose to Leon.

Currently Horizons lost every credibility. the only thing this series had left to offer was the game character but Nemona's humifaction has proven that this series won't going to treat them properly and waste all their potential to shove their boring OC.

I guess you gonna ignore this since none of you have any argument and try to force topic on Liko and Dot capture even though nether one of them has any actual goal to require any pokemon.

>>58037489
That's true. Thought of Mega Aggron first with it's ability and it's Dex entry from Legends is lowkey what the Pagogoposts embodies.

Then there is also Bastiodon, whose pre-evo literally shield in it's name so it's a given choice as a shield Pokemon.

>>58037459
They probably wanted to go full-case armoring on them alongside the crystalized tera effects. But didn't had the time to do it and the skills to compress it on the switch 1 so they just went all in into the hats.

>>58037519
>Then there is also Bastiodon, whose pre-evo literally shield in it's name so it's a given choice as a shield Pokemon.
Plus it's a riding mon, although a very slow one.

Waiting for Amethiokino to arrive.

>>58037526
They can't do anything right.

>>58037526
How would that even work? That is just more bloat that is getting rendered but with a bigger impact on the performance.

>>58037537
Just copy the model of the Pokemon, compress it in a mold-like fashion around the model, color it with the respective Tera-type, give it the Crystallizing effects from the final game instead of on the Pokemon instead.

>>58037554
That sounds simple enough but I guess they didn't wanted to do that with over 400 Pokemon, even if it's only the ones from the base game.

The hats make sense from a time-saving perspective but the size and proportion is over the top.

Amethio should kiss Anne

Liko should still get that Golurk. Love that giant.

>>58037564
I am only willing to accept it if she show up again.

>>58037560
I am agreeing with the proportion part. If the crowns were smaller, it would be better since most of the time in battles is the camera really closing in on the Pokemon anyway and the crown is often clipping out of view at the top.

>>58037536
They can make decent cities but that they're slacking in the scale of them lately.

>>58037636
Plus it would be a little less workload on the rendering part.

>>58037685
I don't think rendering or being able to run the game properly was on their priority.

Liko should kiss Dot.

>>58037790
No thanks, I'm good.

Dot should kiss Iono

>>58037911
>No reuploading
ANON!!!

Do you think we'll get backstory on Roy's journey in Kalos once they arrive in Kalos (if they do) or will it come before?

>>58038081
It might come during a trip to Kalos. Or it gets brought up in a similar manner to Cap's backstory.

>>58037636
They should've atleast offered the option to disable the crowns being shown.

>>58036797
>When is Uruto gonna take a dump into the pages of the Scarlet book?
He's busy being migrated back into society.

>>58037304
Froslass for Liko
Skarmory for Dot might be nice.

>>58037304
Dot should get Froslass, its probably the best way the parallel Iono's Mismagius. If Hawlucha is getting a Mega then Liko could get that since it wouldn't need to evolve. Also it could fit in with her fantasy RPG theming and be a fighter.

>>58037304
Why should Liko and Dot get Mega Evolved Pokemon? Wasn't Liko getting a freaking Terapagos enough? Wasn't Roy getting a freaking shiny Mega Lucario offscreen enough?
> B-but they are main character
Ash, Serena and Clemont were main characters of XY series but Ash took JN series to get his first Mega while Serena and Clemont yet to get their own Mega evolved pokemon

>>58037636
Those crowns stole most of the games budget, have a bit more respect for them.

>>58036617
Kek

>>58037707
He did that only once.

>>58038532
Since this leak turned out to be true, what does it mean by "AI Friede"?

>>58036962
She saw her weedcat.

>>58036954
They heard the feedback about Dragonite being better off adapting elements from Dragonair but didn't knew how to implement them in a proper manner.

>>58037447
>would assume that a tank Pokemon might fit into Liko's team since most of her party is more on the lighter side.
Bastiodon, Steelix. Any Pokemon with a Shield aspect. Even fatso Pokemon might do the trick with the whole "Body mass absorbs hits" thing

>>58037304
Elektross for Dot.

>>58037304
Froslass is the common pick for Liko but Skarmory would be go with Zir and Conia's

>>58033180
>Do you think the Team MZ will make an appearance to work together with the Likosquad against the Rakurium and/or the Rogue Mega threat?
Their objectives can merge without a problem so I won't mind.

>>58037261
Amethio better hops on board.

>>58033689
>Has Rhydon died yet?
It gets delayed by one day for that post

When are we gonna meet the guy who has caught 30 Paldeain Tarous’?

>>58037447
>would assume that a tank Pokemon might fit into Liko's team since most of her party is more on the lighter side.
Shieldonbros, it's on.

>>58037636
>most of the time in battles is the camera really closing in on the Pokemon anyway and the crown is often clipping out of view at the top.
That's another point of questioning if they even play tested SV. They must've noticed that this could get in the way or obscure stuff, right? Or did only tested the dynamic camera without the Tera gimmick?

>>58037554
>give it the Crystallizing effects from the final game instead of on the Pokemon
Offloading it to a new seperate entity might've added a teensy tiny bit work into it loading in.

>>58037256
Segfs with Croc is her anthem

>>58037569
That univan beauty better gets into the ball.

>https://x.com/AshSatoshi4ever/status/1948420876095062322

Ash and Barry feel like Roy & Uroto done right. Barry feels like an actual rival while Uruto feels like somebody just drop out of sky and suddenly calls himself Roy's rival for Black Rayquaza.

Don't care about Liko & Dot, this is my list for Mega Evolved Pokemon for Ash's companions --
> May : Mega Blaziken
> Dawn : Mega Meganium
> Serena : Mega Delphox
> Clemont : Mega Eelektross
> Iris : Mega Excadrill
> Kiawe : Mega Emboar
> Lana : Mega Feragalitr
> Sophocles : Mega Ampharos
> Lillie : Mega Clefable
> Goh : Mega Falinks
> Clian : Mega Chandelure
Brock and Misty already has Mega but I would have preferred Misty with Mega Starmie.

>>58037256
That she's a daddy's girl

>>58034018
>Meowscarada's face isn't exactly much but then again, it's the weedcat.
Liko might some objections with that

>>58039000
>Or did only tested the dynamic camera without the Tera gimmick?
This one

>>58037577
Love him.

>>58039000
The last point makes more sense to me

LiUruto?

>>58034222
Source pls

>>58039613
Lesbians.

>>58033181
>might get compensated with newer moves or ones that have a low cooldown.
It will get the strong and slow moves

>>58039613
If Alex agreed to make Liko's delusions real would she agreed to have Dot as side concubine

>>58033216
They are. But it's Gamefreak. They don't care.

>>58040033
I doubt that any of the scenarios will occur. Alex is faithful

>>58040380
Alex will fuck Dot only to teach SLUTko a lesson

>>58040439
Alex is Lucca's. He wouldn't break his vow.

>>58038614
That is probably the best description I have seen for it so far.

>>58038081
I think it might occur beforehand as the prelude for them heading there.

>>58039526
Still waiting for this one.

>>58040679
It says "Don't reupload". Why so disrespectful?

>>58040738
This joke isn't funny anymore. Stop spamming these pointless posts, you're just inflating the postcount.

>>58040797
>condoning unauthorized reposting
Liko would be so disappointed in you, anon.

>>58040797
Grow a funny bone, Mr. Buzzkill. That one was only said two times ITT.

>>58038299
>Dot should get Froslass, its probably the best way the parallel Iono's Mismagius.
I don't know, Froslass's nature mixes a lot more better with Meowscarada.

>>58033181
>But it might get compensated with newer moves or ones that have a low cooldown.
They had Hyper Beam with the same penalty since gen 2. They aren't gonna make moves that can be reused after a oneshot without a timeout.

>>58038622
>Even fatso Pokemon might do the trick with the whole "Body mass absorbs hits" thing
Cetitian fits the bill with Thick Fat. Plus it's Ice, a Paldean Pokemon and opens up small parallels to Grusha's.

>>58039886
It's been nearly three years since AI images can be generated by the public and the number of mistakes are still as high as ever.

>>58040829
List three errors with that one.

>>58040825
My heroes...and Roy.

>>58040832
Ok.
>Stray hair on the left of Liko is cut off by the blue background.
>Uneven proportion of the head (Abrupt curve on the left instead of the smoother rounding on the right)
>Conflicting background
>Headphones being unable to properly shape symbols or in this case a heart
>Buttons on the Soundboard look broken as balls, partially melted too.
>Her fingers on the plate
AI is still years away from actually being able to trick others.

>>58040810
According to which fucking authority?
>>58040811
There has been several posts like that in every single thread within the past few months. It stopped being funny.

>>58040853
The artist, slowpoke.

>>58040853
NTA but the art literally has a watermark that says not to reupload it.

>>58040853
How about instead of whining about something you don't think is funny, you come up with something more hilarious then? Are you really getting uppity about others having their fun?

>>58040843
I concede.

>>58038614
>but didn't knew how to implement them in a proper manner.
Was it really that hard to place those giant assed wings at the back, right next to the existing tiny wings?

>>58040876
Small indie company, please understand.

>>58034022
>He doesn't eat them with branches picked up from the ground
What a fucking pleb right here.

>>58038081
Beforehand, can be combined with how he met Uruto

>>58033180
I had to look twice at the design to make sure I am not imagining things. Did they really couldn't think of anything better? Dragonite looks more bastardized than ever by taking the "Should keep likenesses from Dragonair" advice the wrong way. 2/10, the two points are from the bit where it will very likely get stronger than any other new mega to make up for it because they will not be able to keep their Kanto bias out of it.

>>58038299
Dot might get a Pokémon that is probably gonna assist her and Orio in some way.

>>58040904
>because they will not be able to keep their Kanto bias out of it.

Ten points they will just have a ridiculous buff in attack?

>>58040859
>>58040871
And what authority do they have? Which law is being broken?
>>58040872
>hurr everything is ok if it's fun!

>>58040947
>STOP HAVING FUN
Jesus christ who hurt you? Atleast know when to pack up and leave.

>>58040879
The indie excuse isn't gonna cut it anymore, they have the biggest backing as a company and yet couldn't get two more on board to maybe tell them to atleast make the wings smaller?

>>58040966
Smaller wings would just take away from the ones on its back.

>>58040961
Stop being annoying and shitting up the thread with useless posts, that's all I'm asking for.

>>58040972
That's stupid. They would just make them more pronounced.

>>58040995
Exactly that is why they did it.

>>58040947
Your posts whining about a trivial matter are also useless.
>>58038081
It will happen while they're heading to Kalos in the blimp, similar to the Friede and Cap backstory.

>>58040979

>>58041066
>similar to the Friede and Cap backstory.
Thinking the same way.

I wouldn't be surprised if it gets presented in the same manner with Lucario already being pre-occupied with something before meeting Roy.

>>58041066
>>58041072
Roy is lowkey emulating Friede, that is kinda a given with it.

>>58041182
Yeah, probably will go down the same route.

>>58041244
Except the part with falling off multiple feet down into the ground.

Man , what an episode, I never expected the twist! Roy was Ash in disguise and he colored his Lucario on yellow while Pikachu posing as Caps! What is going on?
